Strategic Infrastructure: The Surrey Crossroads

Reigate and Banstead’s road network is a critical pillar of the UK transport system. The borough manages a high-utilization segment of the M25 Motorway, which serves as the primary link for traffic bypassing central London. This infrastructure is complemented by the M23, a high-capacity artery that provides a vital connection to the UK’s second-largest airport and the southern coast.

The scale of the network's utilization is significant, particularly near the Junction 7/8 interchanges. This area is one of the busiest motorway splits in the country, managing the intense interaction between trans-national transit and local commuter movement. To manage this intensity, National Highways utilizes a sophisticated network of monitoring cameras and the Smart Motorway system, many of which are integrated into the TrafficVision platform. These feeds allow drivers to identify the source of delays—whether it be a broken-down vehicle near the Merstham interchange or maintenance work on the Reigate Hill stretch—before they start their commute.

Primary Transportation Corridors

1. M25 Motorway (London Orbital): The primary international artery linking Surrey to Heathrow, Kent, and the national motorway network.
2. M23 Motorway: The major regional link connecting the borough to London, Gatwick Airport, and Brighton.
3. A23 (Brighton Road): The historic high-capacity route serving the high-density residential and industrial areas of the borough.
4. A217: The vital regional road serving the northern districts of Banstead and providing a key link to the London suburbs.

Prioritizing Safety in the Commuter Belt

Road safety is a continuous priority for Surrey County Council and the Surrey Police. The region has historically faced challenges with high traffic density, particularly on the M25 and M23 corridors. In early 2024, the borough launched its Vision Zero Road Safety Strategy, aiming to eliminate all fatalities and serious injuries on Surrey’s roads by 2035 through modernized monitoring and infrastructure improvements.

The challenge of safety is amplified by the high density of commuter traffic and the frequency of incidents at major motorway junctions. According to municipal safety reports, Hooley village on the A23 has historically seen collision rates significantly higher than the national average. TrafficVision empowers Reigate’s drivers by providing the visual tools needed for proactive safety. By allowing motorists to see a tailback at the M23 Junction 7 off-slip or heavy rain on Reigate Hill before they reach the location, our platform helps reduce the risks associated with sudden braking and improves overall situational awareness.

Navigating Peak Hours and Metropolitan Peaks

Traffic in Reigate and Banstead follows an intense rhythm dictated by the London work day and the urban expansion of the Surrey commuter belt.

The Commuter Pulse

As one of the UK’s most affluent and high-density commuter regions, Reigate and Banstead experiences extreme peak-hour traffic. During the morning and evening peaks, travel times through the A217 and M25 junctions can increase by nearly 50%. Our urban grid view allows commuters to monitor the main radial routes and motorway slips simultaneously, helping them find the clearest path through the regional bottlenecks.

Gatwick Transit Flow

The movement of goods and passengers toward Gatwick Airport is a major factor in the borough’s traffic. Traffic volume on the M23 and the A23 can be impacted by the constant flow of shuttle buses and international travelers moving during the daily flight cycles. Our cameras in these corridors are essential tools for identifying temporary slowdowns and planning your airport transit during quieter periods.
